Fit Tester Gift Program - Pilot
Maison Mikumo's Fit Tester Gift Program is our invitation to the community to get even more involved in shaping how our clothes fit and feel.
Selected testers get to try on pre-production samples, share feedback, and help us make each design even better before it launches.
Participation is free, completely voluntary, and open by invitation to active mailing list subscribers only.
At this time, only contiguous US residents are eligible for participation.
What we collect
- When you first sign up, we'll ask for a few basics, including:
- Your measurements (bust, waist, hips, height)
- Your approximate location (ZIP code, so we can estimate shipping)
- Your usual size and fit notes
Your information will be added to our internal fit tester registry. We use this only to match you to suitable samples and contact you about testing opportunities.
We don’t sell or share your info, ever.
How it works
When a new style is ready for testing, we email our fit tester registry mailing list with:
A short intro about the piece, what kind of fit we’re testing (for example: sleeve length, petite sizing, waistband adjustability), and a button that says “I’m interested.”
If you click to confirm your interest in participating as a fit tester for this particular design, we’ll check your details in our registry and reach out if you’re a good match.
We try to rotate who’s selected each round so everyone gets a chance over time.
If you’re selected
We’ll send you an email to confirm your interest and availability, shipping info, and your color preference (if applicable).
You’ll also fill out a short Fit Tester Agreement that covers how the program works and gives you the option to choose whether you want your photos and name shown or kept private.
You must be 18 or older to participate.
Testing & feedback
Once your sample arrives, you’ll have about 1-2 weeks to try it, take photos, and fill out an evaluation form with your feedback.
Mirror selfies are totally fine, by the way - it doesn't need to be anything super fancy! We just need to see clearly how it fits.
What you get
Samples are pre-production garments provided as-is for testing. After you complete your evaluation and photo submission, you may keep the sample garment as a thank-you gift (a retail value of $128–$289).
If you decide not to keep it, we’ll cover return shipping and offer either a $25 digital gift card or a 25% off one-time discount code (up to $100 off) - whichever works out to be the better deal for you :)
Gift cards have no cash value and can’t be transferred.
Photos & consent
We love showing real people in our pieces, but your privacy is our top priority.
As a fit tester, you will be able to choose whether or not you would like to:
- Show your face and name,
- Stay anonymous (face covered, initials or alias shown), or
- Keep everything private within Maison Mikumo for internal use only.
If you allow us to share your photos, you’re giving us permission on our website, emails, or social media, in accordance to your privacy preferences.
Any public posts will include a disclosure that the fit tester received this sample as part of this program.
Your data & privacy
We take your privacy seriously. Your personal info stays within Maison Mikumo and can be deleted anytime - just send us a note with your request.
